Confessions of a Couch Potato

YOUR STORIES:  I’m a very lazy person and I love to watch TV. I also have a weakness for potato chips. I guess you could say I’m the quintessential couch potato. Or at least I used to be until I decided to get into shape.

Confessions of a Couch PotatoBut how does a lazy person motivate herself to get up off the couch and tear herself away from the TV? She doesn’t! I bought myself some basic equipment and set it up beside the couch, so that when I watch TV, I’m either working my arms with hand weights or balancing on my exercise ball developing core strength or using my resistance bands in various ways.

At first, I would absent-mindedly do some exercises like bicep curls while sitting on the couch watching TV. Then I did some research and read some really good articles online about setting goals and planning out a workout routine and changing things up every 3 – 4 months. So, that’s exactly what I did. I kept a journal and created a workout routine, so that on Thursday I knew which muscle group I would be focusing on and before long, I had lost weight and created some tone and tightness in my muscles.

This was enough to motivate me and I actually got off the couch and incorporated some low-impact cardio into my routine. I didn’t have to miss any of my favourite TV shows and during the commercials, instead of running to the fridge, I’d be sprinting down the hall and up the stairs.

I actually enjoy working out now and look forward to it. When I’m at a friend’s house, I can’t sit still and I’m always moving, which drives them nuts, especially if we’re watching a movie. But I don’t care, because I look and feel great and I have so much more energy now. As far as the potato chips, we’ve parted ways. I’ve started eating healthier now and I find that now when I eat something too greasy and salty like chips, it turns me off and I can only eat a few.

If I can do it, you can do it.

Check out Fitlode’s Product Reviews for the Best in Weight Management.

Fat burners use thermogenic technology and active ingredients to effectively break down stubborn fatty acids to accelerate weight loss and increase metabolism.

Thermogenesis is directly related to the body’s metabolic rate and this process targets fat cells. Whenever body temperature is increased, it stimulates metabolism, and the fat cells are broken down and utilized as energy to support this increased metabolic rate.

Whether you want to bulk up or lose weight, dietary supplements will help you reach your goals faster, safer and with better results. We review only superior market brands to ensure you’re getting the weight loss management and high performance nutrition advice you need. These brands are backed by scientific research and have shown proven results.

People who have tried THERMINEX-XS LIKE IT!

THERMINEX-XS is such a great supplement! I am a figure athlete and took a little break from training and dieting so hard and of course gained a few pounds. When it was time to start back up and train for my next competition, I started taking THERMINEX-XS. It was great! I did not even realize you were taking a fat burner. It did not give me jitters or make me feel shaky. And it also helped stop my hunger pangs, so I could lose those few extra pounds that I had gained. When it is time, I definitely will take THERMINEX-XS again for my fat burner.

THERMINEX-XS is easily a product I would recommend to my clients. Initially, the Green Coffee Extract and Brazilian Yerba Maté Tea gave me energy to not only power through my workout, but also remain fresh and focused throughout the day. In 3 weeks, the patented Quadracore® compound helped me shave off the weight I needed to lose to create the muscle definition and detail that I wanted for the summer months.

I’m quite skeptical of ALL fat burners, but I will say that I was not disappointed with THERMINEX-XS. First, it contains natural ingredients, which makes me feel much more comfortable taking it. One of those ingredients is Yerba Maté Green Tea, which is rich in antioxidants that are great for your body and you can never get enough antioxidants, as far as I’m concerned. One big upside to this product is it kept my appetite in check. Like most athletes and fitness enthusiasts, I eat every 2-3 hours and there are many times when I’m focused on that next meal. While taking THERMINEX-XS, I did not feel as hungry. That to me is reason enough to give it the thumbs up!

Corianne Cowan CPT, Georgia, USA

THERMINEX-XS is a fast and effective weight loss supplement that helped me to shed 10 pounds and lose a lot of inches in just a few weeks. The Brazilian Source Yerba Maté Green Tea Extract increased my metabolism and helped me with my weight loss goals. I also experienced a dramatic increase in my energy levels from the Theobromine that gave me the push I needed to complete intense workouts at boot camp and in my martial arts classes. I also experienced a dramatic decrease in my appetite on a daily basis thanks to Capsimax™.  I did not feel the need to binge at all. I believe THERMINEX-XS is an effective weight loss supplement good for achieving maximum results. It gives you the energy you need to complete demanding exercise regimens and stay on track of their health and fitness goals.
